Wendy Darling loves to tell stories to her brothers, Michael and John.

Their adventure introduces them to the Lost Boys, Mermaids, Indians and even the infamous pirate, Captain Hook!
Based on the Disney film and J.M. Barrie’s enchanting play, Disney’s Peter Pan JR. is a modern version of the timeless tale about a boy who wouldn’t grow up with no flying required!

It’s time to believe in magic with XANADU JR!
It’s 1980 and the magical and beautiful Greek muse, Kira (portrayed in the movie version by Olivia Newton John), descends from the heavens of Mt. Olympus to Venice Beach, California on a quest to inspire a struggling artist, Sonny, as he strives to achieve the greatest artistic creation of all time – the first roller disco! But, when Kira falls into forbidden love with the mortal Sonny, her jealous sisters take advantage of the situation and chaos abounds.
This hilarious, musical adventure about following your dreams, rolls along with a hit score. With songs including, “Magic”, “All Over The World”, “Suddenly”, “I’m Alive”, “Evil Woman” and “Xanadu”, to name a few, this JR. title still has all the fun and excitement of the original production. Check out these sensational songs here!

It’s hilarity on wheels for children, adults and anyone who has ever wanted to feel inspired.  You’ll want to keep the music in your head, and XANADU JR! in your heart, forever.
